Business Class Seat on Chinese High Speed Trains

Business class seats are sofa-like leather armchairs, independent from each other. They can be adjusted from sitting angle to flat angle, with a total length of 180 - 190 cm (71 - 75 in), allowing the majority of the passengers to lie down and have a good rest. The interval between two rows is 200cm (79 in), so there is no worry of interrupting the passengers of the other rows when lying down. The head rest is the same width of the armchair and can be used as a pillow when the passenger is lying flat. Blankets and waist pillows are also provided and passengers can ask the attendant should they require them. All seats are also rotatable so passengers can choose which direction to sit towards.

On the armrest, passengers can find a tray table, a multimedia entertainment pad and a power port. There is also a reading lamp on one side of the chair with a dimming system. Passengers can press the buzzer to call the attendant when they need help.

The luggage racks are on both sides of the carriage above the chairs. The floor is covered by carpet and the light in the carriages is warm. Restrooms for business class passengers only are outside the carriages and have both hot and cold water.
